MILE STONE


I& C CROSSES MILE STONE

Wadia Hall of Indian Instt. Of World culture, Bangalore witnessed a rare event. ISSUES & CONCERNS, had organised a function to mark the completion of its journey of 10 years. The Special Issue to mark the 10the anniversary was released by the Chief Guest of the function Dr. Mahesh Joshi, the Deputy Director General (DDG) of Door Darshan Kendra, Bangalore. A Souvenir containing the 120 front cover of the magazine with selected feed back and few Focus articles was released by Prof B M Hegde, former vice-chancellor of Manipal University.
Speaking on the occasion DDG exhorted the audience that “in a murky and self serving media scene I & C stands out as a beacon of hope. While tabloids, weeklies, fortnightlies and monthlies came and go after the 1st or 2nd anniversary, for I & C to keep publishing for all 10 years non-stop, by one individual, is a miracle in to-days journalism. This deserves applause and ovation”.
Prof Hegde, while asking the audience to join I & C in its objective of attempting to make a difference, invoked Napoleon Bonaparte that “bad things happen not because of the bad people but because of the silence of good people.

Dr. Dayananda Pai, an entrepreneur with a deep commitment to social causes, assured his support and participation in the future journey of ISSUES & CONCRENS. J. Shriyan, the editor gave a run-down of the perspective. The function ended with the thanks giving by editor followed by national anthem. Dr. Kempaiyya, the executive producer of Door Darshan Kendra, Bangalore sang in honour of I & C. Dr. K. Shankar Shetty was present on the dias. Mr. Vishwanath Shetty, Mr. Ravindranath Marla, Dr K. Shankar Shetty, Mr. S.K. Punja were recognised for their contribution for the success of function.

NEW DELHI: BHARAT RATNAS GALORE ,P>At five, this is the maximum number of the highest civilian award of Bharat Ratnas declared in one year. Beginning with former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur and then followed by former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani. After a lull of a few days comes the announcement of Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan or more well known as M.S. Swaminathan, the acclaimed father of Indian Green Revolution, followed by Chaudhary Charan Singh, a former Prime Minister and 2 times Chief Minister of U.P. and P.V. Narasimha Rao, a former Prime Minister. Truth of the matter is except Lal Krishna Advani, who is past 96 years of age, all others have passed away. This government at the centre is there since last almost 10 years, and attempting to remain continued for another term. This government could have conferred the honor all these years, but it didn’t happen for varieties of reasons. However it’s better late than never. It could even be termed a politi...

ELECTION – 2024 – 2029 How Formidable is Narendra Modi for opposition to Challenge! But who is Modi – Narendra Damordas Modi? A resident of Vadnagar, in north eastern Mehsana district of Gujarat where he completed his schooling. Born in Sept 1950, he started to attend the local RSS Shakha at the age of 8, where he met his future mentor Laxman Rao Inamdar. Public space informs that, he used to help his father in his tea stall in Vadnagar railway station. There appears to be some confusion on this, since it was only in 1970, the railway station was set-up in Vadnagar. But, there’s also a mention that Vadnagar had a meter guage train running since 1930, which means, there could have been some shelter which could pass-off as a railway station. At the age of 17, probably after finishing his schooling, he left home for Ramakrishna Math Ashram in Rajkot, then to Ramakrishna Ashram Belur Math in West Bengal and from there to Almora to be in Swami Vivekananda’s Ashram. Public space also info...

TEMPLE IN AYODHYA- An Overdue STATEMENT 22nd January 2024, shall mark as a very significant day in the contemporary history of India that is Bharath. It was the day the long awaited temple for Lord Rama, the Maryaada Purushottam in the Indian pantheon of God heads, was formally consecrated at Ayodhya. The ‘500 years old’ wait is over, so informs public space. It has ended the alien influence that had disturbed the national conscience from times immemorial. However belated, the temple at Ayodhya has been an unprecedented development. It’s a statement all Indians, Hindus in particular, can be comfortable to align it. Yes, this temple at Ayodhya did wipe out a historical humiliation, where an existing temple was destroyed some 500 years ago to build an alien place of worship. It was a statement then, for the alien force, only to humiliate us. Yes, at long last we could reverse it, at our own terms, within the precincts of law and order. Indeed, the temple at Ayodhya has proved that rev...
